Key Findings from the 2011 Roundtable on Corporate Responsibility
The OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises (the Guidelines) are the most comprehensive voluntary code of business conduct developed by governments in existence today which should be observed by multinational enterprises wherever they operate in the world. The Guidelines aim to ensure that the operations of multinational enterprises are in harmony with government policies, to strengthen the basis of mutual confidence between enterprises and the societies in which they operate, to help improve the foreign investment climate and to enhance the contribution made by multinational enterprises to sustainable development.
